My best shots from JapanDay in Düsseldorf(Germany) from this year(with German text)
The Japan Day (German: Japan-Tag) is a German-Japanese festival celebrated every year in May or June at Düsseldorf in Germany. The celebration can be seen as the successor of the Japan Week (German: Japan-Woche), that was first held in 1983 and again in 1993, as well as of the Japan Year (German: Japan-Jahr) 1999/2000. It is the largest festival of its kind in the world. North Rhine-Westphalia is the home of the biggest Japanese community in continental Europe. According to German media in 2014 and 2016 the Japan Day attracted about 750,000 visitors, while the Japanese Consulate in Germany claims for the 2007 event a record figure of more than one million spectators.
Der Japan-Tag Düsseldorf/NRW, auch Japan-Tag genannt (jap. 日本デー, Nihon-day), ist ein deutsch-japanisches Begegnungsfest, das seit 2002 jährlich im Mai oder Juni am Düsseldorfer Rheinufer gefeiert wird und regelmäßig mehr als eine halbe Million Besucher anzieht. Diese inzwischen 15-jährige Tradition ist eine Fortsetzung der populären Japan-Wochen 1983 und 1993 sowie des Japan-Jahres 1999/2000, allerdings in einem engeren zeitlichen Abstand und Rahmen. Der Japan-Tag 2017 fand am 20. Mai statt.
